John 7:15-22
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 7
15The Jews then were astonished, saying, 'How has this man become learned, not having been educated?' 16So Jesus answered them and said, 'My teaching is not My own, but His who sent Me. 17If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is of God, or I am speaking from Myself. 18The one who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who is seeking the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
19Did Moses not give you the Law, and yet none of you carries out the Law? Why are you seeking to kill Me?'
20The crowd answered, 'You have a demon! Who is seeking to kill You?'
21Jesus answered them, 'I did one deed, and you all are astonished.
22For this reason Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and even on a Sabbath you circumcise a man.
King James Version
Chapter 7
15And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned? 16Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. 17If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. 18He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
19Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?
20The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?
21Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.
22Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.

16Jesus answered them, "My teaching isn’t mine but is from the one who sent me.
17If anyone wants to do his will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own.

Chapter 7
15The Jews therefore marveled, saying, "How is it that this man has learning, when he has never studied?" 16So Jesus answered them, "My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me. 17If anyone 's will is to do God 's will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority. 18The one who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory; but the one who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and in him there is no falsehood. 19Has not Moses given you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. Why do you seek to kill me?" 20The crowd answered, "You have a demon! Who is seeking to kill you?" 21Jesus answered them, "I did one work, and you all marvel at it. 22Moses gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.New International Version

19Did not Moses give you the law, yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill Me?”
